Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it covers both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell for command-line operations, PowerShell examples are consistently provided alongside CLI, and sometimes with more detailed explanations. Windows-specific tools and configuration patterns (such as Web.config and IIS applicationInitialization) are referenced without Linux equivalents. There is also a lack of explicit Linux-native configuration examples (e.g., for warm-up or rewrite rules), and troubleshooting sections reference Windows file paths and concepts. The documentation does mention 'web app on Linux' in the introduction, but practical parity in examples and troubleshooting is lacking.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native configuration examples, such as using appsettings.json, .env files, or startup scripts for warm-up and initialization, especially where Web.config or IIS is referenced.
- When discussing troubleshooting, include Linux file paths and logging locations (e.g., /home/LogFiles) in addition to Windows paths.
- Clarify which features (such as auto swap) are not supported on Linux, and suggest Linux-appropriate alternatives or workarounds.
- For rewrite rules and warm-up, provide Nginx/Apache or Kestrel equivalents alongside IIS/Web.config examples.
- Ensure that Azure CLI examples are presented at least as prominently as PowerShell, and consider leading with CLI (which is cross-platform) rather than PowerShell (which is traditionally Windows-centric).
- Explicitly mention any differences in slot behavior or configuration between Windows and Linux App Service plans.
